LORI SALISBURY'S WARNING.

Tho English Conservatives have received
an unexpected warning from their leader to
prepare for a possible dissolution of Parlia-
ment Lord Salisb ury's speech at Norwich
was made before the rejection of one OF tho
Irish amendments by narrow majority Of
22, and his reflections upon the state of the
country were not inspi ell by that uniownd
event. He probably had the rec mt bye
elections in mind when ne anticipated a gen
eral appeal to the country for which thc
political parties are wholly unprepared. The
Unionist alliance remains unbroken tho
Government has carried Coercion by large
majority; and it can reasonably expect TO
comm nd the confidence and support Of the
harrington Liberals whom yer the question
of Home Rule is consi cred in Parliament
There is nothing in the relations of the
various factions at Wcstm nster TO forecast
a speedy dissolution. Even that narrow ma
jority Of ~ can be explained away as the
result of division in a small and listess
House. If Lord Salisbury, who usually is
inclined to underrate the dangers OF poit-
cal situation, is seriOu ly discussing the
cessity for another general election, it cannot
be because he considers the Government TO
be hard pressed and menaced with over
throw. He warns his party Of the possibility
Of dissolution because he pc; YES the ur-
gent need Of an improvement in org nzation
and the cstabl shment of clCs,r relati rs in
the constituencies between the two wings OF
the Unionist Column. A cont nui nee OF Home
Rule gains in bye elections will tcnI to dis
credit the Government and to deprive it OF
political authority. The Prime Minister

1t is altogether imurv bable that a Ielal
election will be- hlI during the autumn. The
Government has no positive issue on which
it Can ap cal to the country. since It's opposi-
ton to Home Rule is negative policy by
virtue of which it now holds Office. Mr..
Gladstone asked the country to su tain Home
Rule and was defeated ON that issue. Lord
Salisbury, in ordering a general election,
could only invite the country to vote second
time against Home Rule. If he were TO do
this he would discredt the previous verdict
as one that possibly had not been formed
after mature deliberatiOn. Certainly he can
be in no haste to appeal to the CONSTITUENCIES

himself and his cole CUES to be irreversible

PROHIBITION IN TENS.

On the 4th of August the most stirring of
campaigns will be decided, and the people
of Texas will declare at the polls their will
as to the proposed prohibition am ndment
to the Constitution. The pr hbition canvass
in Texas has been peculiar one. The issue
has from the first had disintegrating effect
on the Democratic party in the State. In the
last ton years the Democratic majority in
Texas has only twice fallen below 100000
and in 1884 Grover Cleveland had plurality
of 1872, 100 and majority of 1888 in a
total vote of 325,3O with four electoral
tickets in the field. 1t is clear then that there
could be no serious contest in Texas unless
the conditions were so ch5nged as virtually
to abolish party lines, but this is precisely
what the prohibition issue has done. For
weeks past two sets of Democratic speakers
have been canvasSing the State and denOunc-
ing one another The prohibition issue
which ii was at first thought would
simply be buried under an Overwhelm-
ing adverse vote, has already so split
and demoralized the dominant party that no
body familiar with the situation feels ii safe
to make predictions as to the outcome. Both
sides profess confidence. and both figure out
modest majorities. But neither can tell how
the labor and colored vote will 60 and upon
that depends the result
Some claim that the colored vote will be
cast almost solid against the amendment.
Others maintain that prohibition has made
much Roadway among the coored voters.
Like uncertainty exists as to the tendency
of the labor vote, and little can be gathered
from its disposal in other States or the IL
rcction taken by labor organizations. SO far
as discipline and systematic work are con-
oerned the antiprohibtionists appear to be
ahead. They have not apparently suffered
from want Of funds, whereas their opponents
complain that they have not been properly
sustained What the prOh,bitioniSts have
lacked in organization they have tried to
make up for in enthusiasm, but even here
the other Democrats have scarcely been be-
hind them, and "red-hOt7 is tie only fit
Characterization Of the canvass on both sides.
AS Texas has never until now been regarded
as favorable field for temper nee expert
ments, the inference is inevitable that opinion
has undergone marked Oh ngc in this re-
spect. It it clear that whatever the result Of
the vote next Thursday may be, large pro-
hibtion vote will be cast. 1.-THE Dallas
News which is against the amendment, only
figures out an anti-prohibition majority Of
$4,000 Considering all the CT cumstanccs
such an estimate implies the admission ihat
prohibition has made great progress in the
State What effect the anmcs!tics engcn-
dercd in the present campaign will have upon
the Democratic party in Texas rema rs to be
seen, but it certainly cannot be strengthened
by the bitter dis:ens on.

Alarm ABOCT Ana CHTsTs

Anarchists like Most may easily be clothed
with undue importance and influence, by the
fears OF people whom sclf-n,erest or tmidity
prompts t. unwsc though. Not al insur-
anco men are always wise, rs unwlsc people
may be found in other occupations and when
any Of them attribute to Most and the So
calists an ala mng iDcr ase in the dislruc
ton Of property by fire, it is best to see
whether there is adequate foundation for the
alarm.
The number of recorded fires throughout
the country for the first six months OF 1887
is JOB for the same part OF 1856 1t WAS
800, and for the same par, OF 1885 it was
I,137. Unless it is 10 be sUpposeI that all
iInaccountabe deer ease in the number of
fires arising from caIelcssness accident
has somehow occurred, there seems to be no
reason for supposing that there has been any
increase in the number Of incend airy fires
If there is no evidence Of an increase in the
number Of all inc ndiary fl O., 1t would be
wise not TO give Most and the Socia SIS I'M
port nee which does not belong t. them.
But it is said that the number OF fires is
not the only test; the losses have increased
largely, from $50, 1900 in the fist six
months Of 1885 TO 500, 100000 in the same
part Of 1856. and $50, 81 900 in the fist
half of 1887 This is indeed large IN
crease, but what evidence is there that
greater destructyeness, with a smal or num-
Der of fires than in 1885. is due to inccndi-
arism? A more reasonable explanation Is
obvious. There has been an enormous in
crease in the valuation OF property during the
last two years. The same buildings which
were thought worth $4,000 O01 In 1855
would be held worth mtca more this year
But there has also been a great increase in
business activity, in the quantity OF goods
held in stores. warehouses and factories, and
Consequently in the amount exposed to risk
Moreover, the prices of commodities have
advanced mater ally in two years, so that
the same qua..t ties would re resent a larger
value. The burning Of dozen stores or
factories in 1887 would therefore represent
% greater loss in the v4lu ton OF build
ings; ~ greeter qwlnti OF goods Stored
therein (3) higher valua ion for those goods.

and in value of property can ea,iy be ap-
